ATTACHMENT(S): N/A
Dear Colleagues:
Background
An annual Post Expenditure report that describes how the state expended its Social Services Block Grant (SSBG) funds for the past year must be submitted annually, according to a schedule set by the Office of Community Services (OCS). Grantees must submit to OCS an annual Post Expenditure Report no later than six months following the close of the fiscal year.
Due Dates for the 2024 Post Expenditure Report
Post Expenditure Reports for grant recipients following the state fiscal year July 1 through June 30 are due by close of business on December 31, 2024. Grantees following the federal fiscal year September 1 through October 30 must submit their Post Expenditure Reports no later than close of business on March 30, 2025. The Post Expenditure Report should be submitted in the SSBG Online Data Collect Site (Portal) .
Required Content for the Post Expenditure Report
The Post Expenditure Report must include the following:
- The number of individuals who received services paid for in part or in whole with federal funds under the Social Services Block Grant.
- The amount of Social Services Block Grant funds spent in providing each service.
- The method(s) by which each service is provided, showing separately services provided by public agencies, private agencies, or both.
- The criteria applied in determining eligibility for each service such as income eligibility guidelines, sliding fee scales, the effect of public assistance benefits, and any requirements for enrollment in school or training programs; and
- The State’s definition of “child,” “adult,” and “family.”
When the Post Expenditure Report includes Temporary Assistance for Needy Families (TANF) transfer data, the total TANF transfer amount reported in the Post Expenditure Report should be consistent with the appropriate TANF federal financial report (ACF-196R). It is strongly recommended that you coordinate with your TANF counterpart(s) to support the integrity of TANF transfer data. (Note: A state may not transfer more than 10 percent of funds from TANF to SSBG. In addition, funds transferred from TANF to SSBG are to be used only for programs or services to children or their families whose income is less than 200 percent of the income poverty guideline applicable to a family of the size involved (See Section 404(d) of the Social Security Act )).
